Russia's ambassador to the U.K. Andrey Kelin called the U., Israel, war on Iran a "misadventure" whose goals and exit strategy are unclear. He expressed Russia's sympathy with Iran and suggested that the best way to end the escalating conflict is to show that the US is "senseless". The war has been raging for two weeks and disrupted shipping traffic through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered his "unwavering support" to Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, and said Russia will remain its reliable partner.
